56000 can be obtained as 7*2*2*2(8)*2*5(10)*2*5(10)*2*5(10) (=7*8*10*10*10).----------First condition
We have to find Blue (2) and Orange(5).
So orange marbles will be 3 from First condition.
Minimum blue required would be 0, since 3 Pinks can give us the same no. (2*2(4)*2*2(4)*2*2(4)).
3+0 = 3 ... so i will go with

A. 3

If we dont consider Pink that we either can have 2 Blue or 4 blue or 6 blue, if we add these to 3 orange then we get 5 or 7 or 9. none of which is in the answer options. so we have to go with 0 blue marbles which gives us 3 oranges in all.
